Definitions

  • the present invention is related to inventions disclosed concurrently filed application Ser. Nos. 08/552,480 and 08/555,811 of the present inventor (attorney Docket Nos. 024012-171 and 024012-172, respectively).
  • the invention is related to a refrigerator, and particularly, to an operating control circuit of a refrigerator and a method operating a refrigerator.
  • a conventional refrigerator comprises a freezing compartment and a refrigerating compartment which are cooled at different temperatures from each other.
  • the refrigerator also includes the predetermined components for performing the refrigerating cycle to cool these compartments.
  • the evaporator among these components is mounted in any one of these compartments to be heat-exchanged with air to be circulated.
  • the blow fan is fixed adjacent to the evaporator to blow the heat-exchanged air into these compartments.
  • FIG. 1A schematically depicts the refrigerator 1 which is divided into a freezing compartment 2 and a refrigerating compartment 3.
  • An evaporator 4 is installed in the rear wall of the freezing compartment 2, and a blow fan 5 is fixed over the evaporator 4.
  • the refrigerator 1 is provided with an air flow passage 6 for guiding air heat-exchanged with the evaporator 4 into the compartments and an air flow passage 6' for introducing air circulated in the compartments back into the evaporator 4 for the heat-exchanging.
  • the refrigerating cycle of the refrigerator 1 includes a compressor 7 for compressing refrigerant to high temperature and pressure, a condenser 8 for condensing refrigerant with the heat-exchanging air around the periphery thereof, a capillary tube 9 for expanding the condensed refrigerant, and the evaporator, which are communicated in turn with one another by means of a refrigerant tube to form a closed circuit. Therefore, the refrigerant that is an operating fluid of the refrigerating cycle is compressed at the compressor 7, condensed at the condenser 8, expanded at the capillary tube 9 and then evaporated/heat-exchanged with air while passing through the evaporator 4 to absorb the heat from air in the compartments.
  • the refrigerators must control two temperature ranges different from each other,. using only one evaporator and one blow fan.

Due to this, a system control for cooling each compartment at the temperature to be required tends to be complicated, and also the configuration becomes complex. It not only makes the temperature control of each compartment difficult but also has a bad effect on the cooling performance of the evaporator.
  • the refrigerator has problems in not being able to cool quickly each of the refrigerating chamber and the freezing chamber to the predetermined temperature, and to promptly respond to the temperature changes of each compartment such as the load fluctuations or the temperature changes around the periphery of the refrigerator. In these respects, it has been required to minimize variations in the set temperature of each compartment. And it is very desirous to simplify the inner configuration of a refrigerator.

  • control portion reads the temperature data every predetermined time from the temperature sensor provided in any one of the freezing and refrigerating compartments, compares the detected temperature with the temperature set by a temperature adjuster for users and controls the operation of the switch, thereby performing the operating control of a system.
